A special meeting of National Minority T.V. Inc. was held on June 27,1991. All directors were in attendance and consented to the meeting. The President reported on the status of our application for a station in Wilmington, Delaware. Opposition to the transfer of the license to operate the station has been filed with the F.C.C., but our F.C.C. counsel feels our position is strong. A Septetlber deadline for closing the transaction is included in the purchase contract. Colby May is attempting to obtain an extension. The board discussed the Portland station. The studio is completed and we should be able to produce live programming by this fall. The station manager will create program."Uing for naticnal broadcasts once local Portland progra:.uning begins. 'Jane Duff reported that five applications for low pc.,;er stations are peneing before the F.C.C. The locations of the low power stations are in ~~arillo, Texas: Charleston, West Virgi~ia; Prescott, Arizona and Wichita Falls, Texas. Jane Duff reported the transfer of our Midland/Odessa station ... closed on AprilS, 1991 with no problems. L,. A motion by was made by Phil Aguilar and seconded by Jane Duff to memorialize the corporation's reimbursement policy for business expenses. The following motion was then made, seconded and passed:

Mr. Jim McClellan. Station Manager KNHT-TV Channel 24 432 Northeast 74th Street Portland, OR 97213

Dear Jim:

The time for renewal of our medical insurance is at hand. The cost of medical coverage is very high, and the Board of Directors would like each employee to know how important it is to them .to have a good heal~h plan at a reasonable cost. We have worked very hard to accomplish this for the coming year without having to raise the monthly premiums.

We would like to request that you use prudence in using your medical coverage as well as the prescription service. Obviously we want you to use it when needed, but on the other hand if it is abused this drives the cost up which eventually gets passed onto the employee. Another fact you should be aware of is that your medical insurance plan self funded which means that NMTV pays all claims up to $40,000.00 per person each .r. """-'" Here is a list of the basic changes which will occur as of July 1, 1991:

1'. Administrator will change from Escobar to Drake. 2. Prescription service will change from PCS to a company by the name of Avesis. The co-payment will go from $5.00 to $8.00 per prescription. You may continue to use your PCS cards during the month of July or until you receive new cards. 3. The co-payment under CAPP CARE will change from $lO.O(j'P.er visit: to $15.00 per visit. 4. The yearly deductible for those who do not use CAPa CARE remains "1""; $200.00. e 6. Monthly premiums remain the same.

The change of administrators will necessitate prompt action on the part of:everyone involved. We are enclosing new enrollment forms to be completed by alL'who have medical coverage. Please complete these forms and return them to Personnel via UPS Next Day Air. During July until your new coverage cards are received you will need to call the follOWing number to confirm coverage: (714) 370-0608.

If you have further questions, please feel free to call the Personnel Office.

Trinity Broadcasting Network Engineering Department . Memo .

Date: July 12, 1991

To: Jane Duff George Sebastian Jim Planck

From: Ben Miller

Subject: LPTV Part 74 Compliance

After the debacle in Salt Lake City, I am re-eval~atingour system of handling problem situations as it is now obvious that it is not working as it should.

First, I would like to request that Jim contact ITS, TIC and Aerodyne try to design and make available both as an option and retrofit kit, an audio limiter circuit which can be placed integrally into the transmitters to preclude any possibility of overmodulation. If that cannot be done in one or any of the cases, we will need to see that stand-alone limiters are installed in all new sites and retrofitted in all existing sites. In the interest ""--"" ::~!i~:~:~i:. of fulfilling our representation to the Commission specifically for Salt Lake, I am sending a stand-alone unit to Jim now for immediate installation. Let's also make a point of installing limiters in all stations scheduled for remote control installation in the future as well.

Secondly, Salt Lake pointed out a major flaw in the trouble reporting system which need immediate attention. Jim or Jay must identify any condition which is reported that could render the transmitter in violation of Part 74..-'f it cannot be taken care of immediately (same day), then you are instructed to exercise a judgement call and ha;ve the transmitter shut down. If it all possible we should be notified when you do it or as soon as possible thereafter so that we can provide notifications. If shut down is required then you will obviously need to place the highest priority on dealing with the problem.

Furthermore, the lack of diligence on the part of Mr. Gilbert demonstrates that although he may be otherwise qualified, he certainly did not seem to place the channel 36 facility very high on' his priority list. This is particularly irksome as the original problem was his fault to begin with. I feel that he should be replaced as soon as possible. My bigger concern is; how many more Mack Gilberts do we have out there? I am led to believe many more, and some worse. I'd say that an immediate effort needs to be launched to terminate any and all under-responsive or under-qualified
